Chapter 914: Great Disparity
Samuel naturally didn’t notice this.
After hearing Ezra’s suggestion, Samuel nodded approvingly. “Not bad. These two punks have blatantly killed someone at the Howards’ banquet and beat up someone from the Gilded a.s.sociation. We have to give them an explanation!”
Then he shouted at the bodyguards around him, “Go capture those two punks!”
A few senior bodyguards immediately approached Lucas and Jordan hostilely.
The surrounding guests hurriedly dodged away, leaving a large s.p.a.ce in the middle, afraid that they might be accidentally affected.
But most of them looked excited.
The two young men might be good at martial arts, but Howards’ experts were not ordinary people after all. The confrontation was bound to be exciting.
Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ezra really spared no effort to sow discord. He had deliberately caused two of them to get into a conflict with the Howards.
But Samuel didn’t take his advice and insisted that his subordinates take action against them. Lucas naturally wouldn’t be polite to him.
…
Before Lucas even gave any instructions, Jordan was already standing in front of Lucas and sneering at the Howards’ experts with contempt. “Hmph, you have a death wis.h.!.+”
Just as these few experts of the Howards came close and attacked, Jordan immediately rushed into their formation and swung his fists at them!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
…
Only the sound of dull collisions rang out. Jordan was so fast that it was almost impossible for them to see him.
But every time there was a collision, an expert from the Howards would be sent flying!
The fight was extremely simple without any fancy moves!
In just a few short seconds, the six experts of the Howards who rushed forward to attack Jordan and Lucas were all knocked to the floor, each vomiting blood.
This scene made almost everyone so stunned that their eyes were about to fall out!
It was… way too fast!
Before they could even get a clear glimpse of anything, they saw the Howards’ experts being knocked onto the floor one after another. They were all severely injured!
If not because they were on the Howards’ territory, they would have thought that these experts were all acting.
The disparity in strength was that drastic!
Samuel widened his eyes in shock and astonishment.
As the successor of the Howards who was about to become the next helmsman, Samuel naturally had the Howards’ strongest powerhouses around him.
These six people were all powerhouses who were not to be trifled with in all of DC. They could destroy some families under the eight top families.
But these experts with such great strength were now just like ordinary people in front of this young man in his early twenties. They were completely fragile and couldn’t even touch Jordan before they were all knocked down!
How was this possible?
All of a sudden, Samuel wondered whether these experts around him had been swapped out.
There was also shock in Ezra’s eyes.
Although he had planned this scene out and pushed things to this stage, Jordan’s strength was way beyond his expectations.
He originally thought that these experts around Samuel would definitely be a great threat to Jordan and that it would be best for them to beat him into a pulp or just cripple them. If this happened, Lucas would definitely avenge Jordan. When the time came, Lucas would completely form a feud with the Howards, and there would be a great chance of Lucas killing Samuel.
As long as Samuel died, the Howards would definitely do their best to kill Lucas!
Once Samuel and Lucas died, Ezra would definitely become the next helmsman of the Howards.
But Jordan had now easily severely injured Samuel’s six experts with his own strength. His incredible martial arts prowess made Ezra feel uneasy.
If… if one of Lucas’s subordinates was this powerful, how would the Howards be able to deal with the two of them in the future?
If the Howards suffered a ma.s.sive loss in Lucas’s hands, he would lose more than his gains!
Ezra had a vague ominous hunch, and he even felt a trace of regret. If he had known earlier, he probably wouldn’t have schemed against Lucas like this and tried to take advantage of him.
But it was too late to regret now that things had come to this!
There was no turning back now, and he could only take things one step at a time!
After defeating the six experts of the Howards, Jordan clapped his hands with slight disappointment, as if he didn’t enjoy the fight at all. “Are all of the Howards’ people such weaklings? I heard that you’re going to take over as the Howards’ helmsman. Don’t you have experts around you who can fight?
“You’re so weak. Are you people really worthy of being one of the eight top families in DC? You don’t live up to your reputation at all!” Jordan mocked arrogantly.
The people in the hall couldn’t help inhaling sharply. It was simply too arrogant of him to mock the Howards on their turf!
But this man had just defeated several of the Howards’ experts effortlessly with his own strength, so he had every right to be arrogant because it was an indisputable fact that he was powerful!
Samuel looked extremely sullen. Jordan didn’t seem to take the Howards seriously at all, but Samuel’s subordinates had indeed been defeated by Jordan, causing him to feel aggrieved and unable to refute!
As the successor of the Howards, he had never been so aggrieved before, especially not in front of so many guests on the Howards’ turf!
The Howards were greatly embarra.s.sed!
Samuel gritted his teeth and looked at Lucas. He knew that the person in front of him was the one who called the shots.
“Who are you?” Samuel asked through gritted teeth.
Lucas smiled faintly. “It’s probably too late for you to be asking me who I am now.”
Samuel was at a loss for words.
Indeed, when Lucas reminded him that he and Ezra knew each other earlier, Samuel didn’t take Lucas seriously at all.
Even if Lucas revealed his ident.i.ty now, Samuel, the successor of the Howards, would never be able to accept it and bury the hatchet.
The only thing he could do now was to defeat these two people by all means. He would then kill them and use their lives to wash away the shame they had subjected him and the Howards to. It would save the Howards their pride in front of so many guests!
“You’re right. It doesn’t matter who you are because it’s impossible for you to leave this place alive!”
Samuel suddenly laughed with an intense murderous intent on his face.
